| Message | Although I disagree that having an "impartial" media is a good goal--you'll never have one. The trick is to have biases from all directions so they cancel each other out. A private media is very good at this. |

| Message | I also agree that it is good to have private media stations to cancel out bias, yet i also believe, for the same reasons, that a station without any commercial agenda should be allowed to run. |
